What do you suggest for blocking foreign character spam?

Yahoo advises me they have no solution to blocking foreign character spam? How is that possible? I get hundreds of spam messages with characters I cannot recognize and want them to go in the trash upon arrival. Can I use an outside spam filter like Spam Assasin in conjunction with Yahoo's spam filter. I have no idea if that works, or whether there are other work arounds. I'm sure I am not the only one in the US receiving all this crap.What do you suggest for blocking foreign character spam?

believe me youre not the only one! i say we all combat this by sending them some type of virus, or finding out their true email! then return the favor!

i know yahoo could stop this if they tried, if they can do usa, then why not the others?
